How This Works

There is no official UK-to-US GPA conversion — the scales are fundamentally different. UK grades use a 0–100% scale; US GPA uses 0–4.0. The conversion above is the most widely used approximation used by WES (World Education Services) and UCAS. For graduate applications, always include your raw UK percentage alongside any converted figure.

Yes — UK degrees are widely recognised by US universities. A First or strong 2:1 is generally competitive for US master's and PhD programmes. A 2:1 is broadly equivalent to a 3.3–3.7 GPA. Many US programmes explicitly state UK degree classification requirements. The key is providing transcripts and a clear explanation of the UK grading system alongside your application.
